Well... Here she is. I think I'm in love and I haven't even taken her out yet.

Nice Qnman, You better get yourself a reloading kit if you don't already have one to support your new addiction. I am looking for a reloading kit - hint hint hint!

LOL. I have been reloading .45 ACP for about five years to feed my G21 habit.

I ran it next to my Sig 1911, so that's what I was comparing it to. The Sig has a nice trigger. A little bit more take-up than I like, and a little stacking at the end, but nothing horrible.

The TRP is like breaking the proverbial glass rod. That trigger is BUTTER.

The Sig is not a light gun... it is a full frame stainless with light rail. However, without having put them on the scales, there is no doubt in my mind the TRP weighs more. Not objectionably so, but undoubtedly more.

The front strap - both are proclaimed to be 20 LPI checkering. However, there is no comparison in the hand; the TRP grips WAY more than the Sig. The Sig feels... er, "abrasive", but not "sharp". The TRP feels SHARP. I was joking with a friend that I could soak my hand in 5W-30 and still maintain a good grip on this thing. I have soft, office hands, because... well, because I work in an office. I hit a keyboard all day most days. Still, while rough, after about 3-minutes shooting it, I quit noticing it so much.

The Sig holds a decent grouping - about 3 inches at 10-yards, freehand.

The TRP does about the same (no, I don't pretend that is the guns accuracy - just how I shoot it. I am certain the TRP can beat that).

Double-taps is what separates the two... With the Sig on an 8-inch target, I can hit both rounds in the target about half the time. The other half the time, I pull high - sometimes high right, sometimes high left, sometimes high center, but always high.

With the TRP - ALL shots stayed WITHIN the 8-inch target. I tried this with 40-rounds in a row (Four 10-round magazines, double-tap). NO fliers off the target. In fact, VERY FEW outside the 8-ring. I attribute this to the sweet trigger, the grippy front strap, and the mass of the TRP.

I am currently out of hollowpoints, so I was unable to test it for feeding (neither had a single hiccup with plated Berrys). However, I DID pick up some sweet SWC's today, so once I get those rolled up, it may be a "next step" testing. If I can find some flying ashtrays, I'll test those too.

All in all, the TRP has moved to the front of the class in my gun safe.

Awesome!

It looks great and I'm glad you like it.

As for the weight, its a hefty 1911. In fact, its the heaviest 1911 I own.
